Colony | 2024 VC Community Video

Hey everyone,

After 4 months of juggling our dedication to this project, real-life responsibilities and other activities, we are finally ready to present you the 2024 Vice City community video.


puzzLe:
After first organizing it in 2022 myself, it has passed through multiple hands before it got thrown (back) into our laps, and since Darkstar and I had done AERONAUTS together, we figured another big editing job split between the two of us would be a fun idea.
Since then this video has been nothing short of a grind to complete; from learning how to use Blender and Darkstar Replay Manager from scratch, to having to do so much post-editing work with technical difficulties plaguing you to the point you just want to go lay in bed and do nothing. (Or trying to post this thread and having half of it disappear because of the apostrophe bug)
Another gut punch was the realization that MaCi was not gonna be in the community video.
In 2023 he let me know that he wanted to use the stunt he sent in for the original community video elsewhere, being the SFH video. I was kind of bummed even though I could very well understand that he thought everything took way too long.
But after his untimely passing, that stung all the more. Which is why I have to give an extra shoutout to Cooper and Ltab for providing us with one of MaCi last stunts, and Theonly One for giving his blessing to actually use it, as this will be one of MaCi`s final appearances in a stunting video. MaCi forever.


Darkstar:
This project has been a rollercoaster of hype and dread, and honestly if it had not been for puzzLe continuously keeping a positive attitude I do not know if I would have seen it through to the end. I do not really have a lot more I want to say, I just want to thank every single person reading this, you help keep this tiny community alive. So, thank you, and enjoy the video!


A huge thank you to boxXx for making the color corrections, doing some QC and taking the time to do the final render, Rainbow for helping us through the arduous task of selecting replays, sheikah for keeping this project on its feet when I dropped the ball, Sasha Dotterkletch for creating a GTAS cake and Dannye for his support and software. But most importantly, the community: a huge thanks to those of you who have stuck around for years or even decades at this point as GTAStunting.net hit its 20th anniversary.

We hope you enjoy the video and cheers to another 20!

[Extrem.]

good video and tricks. Sorry, I couldn’t take part.. I hope to take part in the next community video, if there is one of course.

[RedX]

Great video! Lots of great stunts and the editing was very enjoyable!

That lighthouse wallride is among my favorite VC stunts of all time, so cool!

[MadX]

Amazing video, great job to all of you involved, glad I was a part of it!

not my best reaction, but i tried my best

[Srcry]

Great job everyone! It has been touch and go at certain points, but I'm glad to see this community still going 20 years strong. The stunt bug runs deep. We'll all probably still be finding new spots and potential stunts no matter what game engine we touch.

The intro gave me the feeling of classic comm vids of the past like Connected, Interlocked, Fracture, etc. I'm glad to see the classic comm vid formula still alive. The stunts were shown crystal clear. I think there was room for a little more artistic expression with the editing, but there was plenty of nice touches and unique camera angles. In the end, it was a thoroughly entertaining 18 minutes. As far as the stunts go, the grabs and grinds are always my favorite, along with Dannye closing it out with some impossible platform jumping skills.

Shoutout to the cake bosses.

[Theonly_0ne]

Wow. Just wow.

I have so much to say about this but I will try to keep myself short. First of all, the editing was dope as fuck. I truly got the old-school-comvid, feeling that I have not felt since Fracture really. The music was spot on and the stunts were amazing. Kinda funny that GTAS has been around for 20 years and we still figure out new spots and techniques. I am  glad I finally got to use my csm and boost as well.
Secondly, MaCi would have loved this. If he was still with us, this would be one of those moments where I would run up to his apartment, crack a cold one, turn of the lights and then be amazed by the new comvid together. Sadly that is never going to happen again. Not gonna lie, I did shred a tear or two during this thing, especially during the outro. Then I found myself laughing at the fact that he would probably bridle at me and call me a little bitch if he saw me weeping like this.
Overall - extremely pleasurable to watch. 10/10, truly.

[TurBo]

Wish the stars had aligned for at the very least one contribution, watching now and will make a more in-depth comment later.

[Ltab-]
